A Strange Door [RP]

A Strange Door
Roleplay by Cirith

it's plain and simple:
a roleplay version of the Shivering Isles Expantion for Oblivion, with slight adjustments


Background: the oblivion crisis is over and restoring works have begun around Tamriel.
now just east of Bravil in the middle of the Niben a strange portal has formed, the portal to the Shivering Isles, Daedric realm of Sheogorath.
to make this story suitable for roleplaying some things will end up different here compared to the game version: for example we will start with an empty fringe and the gatekeeper will only be killed by a large enough group, but that will come later.

Roleplay outline:

we start in the fringe after the talk with Haskill, after a short while in the Fringe meeting with others and growing impatient and bored with the few adventurers who provide entertainment when they get killed by the gatekeeper, after the gatekeeper is defeated the roleplayers will head out towards New Sheoth and from there on we will simply do the mainquest with a few moments of rest between quests. but since it's a roleplay and the SI MQ has so many choices we'll just see where this goes to

Rules:



standard stuff: no godmodding, no giant plottwists that goes against the mainquest, no character control.
steer clear of one liners, if necessary discuss a conversation through chat or PM and let one post both sides of the dialogue.
every character must have some form of madness, it doesn't have to be as extreme as Bolwing's or Big Head's, little quirks can make it look crazy enough.
Be creative
PM all sheets to me
ask questions
have fun


-Edit-
it also is allowed to enter with a sane mortal, but the monet they enter the Fringe their madness starts for develope, characters already with a madness can also further develope their madness or expand it.
-Edit-

My sheet:
Name:Marco Dalecross
Gender:male
Age:32
Race:imperial
Birthsign:the ritual

Class:Sigil Raider
Skills:athletics, heavy armor, alchemy, axe, spear, climbing, restoration
Class description:during the oblivion crisis mercenaries were asked to keep daedra away from the cities, one particular group made it a job to storm the oblivion citadels with a small force of trained mercenaries and close the gates, after it was found out that Sigilstones can enchant weapons and armor with high quality enchantments the Sigilstones were shared among the group, the last gate they managed to close was for Marco. the effectiveness of the Sigil Raiders was the use of spears and magic combined to quickly kill daedra at a distance while healing each other and restoring energy

General appearance: a muscular, fit looking Imperial with a
Hair: long black hair, usually tied back
Eyes:brown
Tattoos, scars: a few old scars from battle, mostly clannfear scratches and burns from fire elementals


Primary Clothing/armor:
maroon shirt and brown vest, leather greaves and thick cowhide shoes, steel plaudrons and orcish gauntlets
Other Clothing/armor:steel cuirass and a Skingrad shield (usually worn on his back over his pack), green travel cloak, some spare wool clothing

Primary weapon:Ebony war axe
Other weapons:silver battle axe enchanted with a decent frost spell, making it easier to Break things
Inventory/ travel bag:bread, apples and one beer, a hammock, a folded canvas he uses as tent and some rope and a grapple hook

Mental Description:he kind hearted and cheerful man, he seems quite normal when in public
Madness: he is a bit sadistic, and loves to break things, pottery and glass is his favorite to shatter, but the sound of breaking bones is priceless to him. normally he has control over his urges to break things but when he is stressed or excited it becomes more difficult, his outlet of those urges is battle where he fights with suprising force and excitement

Brief History: he used to be in the fighters guild, but eventually went rogue and joined a mercenary group called The Colovian Raiders, they weren't doing things illegal, but they were extremely deadly because of their tight formations and battle plans that allowed them to do prolonged raids lasting far longer in battle then normal soldiers. they often were employed by nobility with land outside the greater cities to protect their land or to retrieve stolen property from bandits.
at the beginning of the Oblivion crisis the raiders were the few to help cleanse the city after the gate closed and the castle was retaken by the cityguard and the hero of Kvatch.
after that they traveled throughout Colovia hunting down Daedra and occasionally closing a gate.

the mercenaries group had disbanded at end of the Oblivion crisis since most wanted to retire after the life threatening travels in Oblivion or to help rebuild Kvatch.

Ah, you're right. I saw something at the bottom of the page, but it's not technically an RP just yet. My mistake.

@ Aulakauss
I wouldn't mind seeing Karst... I intend on throwing Tashiir into this RP. (She's the character I'm writing my new Fanfic about, though all of you should know that... Unless you haven't read it... If that's the case, I say READ IT AND COMMENT PLEASE)

Sorry about the plug. I will reserve this post for my character sheet, which I am working on right now...

As long as ArgonianMageZelric upholds his agreement to join with me, I have a character in progress for this. She's been.. in-the-works for a while, I just have been recently inspired and started finishing up some of my old scrapped projects. ^_^

So, that said, I'm gonna assume there's room for a crazy Alchemist with a passion for acids and narcotics and his abused-yet-willing feline lab rat in the Shivering Isles, right? :D

OK you know what, forget about it. No more crowdpleaser roleplays from me.

so I've learned something new once more: Don't make roleplays based on a concept you used for a character, Don't expect people will give feedback on concepts or Ever will give a sugggestion and now I've learned that you should only make a roleplay You want, because you'll lose the inspiration in less then 48 hours. I should make a freaking tutorial on making a roleplay, I have SO much experience :rolleyes: .

Perhaps people didn't make comments because they weren't interested, and didn't want to put down what was clearly of interest to *counting* six people, enough for a very decent RP. I've never played SI, so I didn't think it was my place to comment, and I'm sure many others have similar stories.

No need to be so grumpy or bitter, particularly when you've had six people pledge to join. :P I'm sorry your RPs haven't been working out though: it's a real bummer when that happens.

You haven't played SI, Illusionary?! :o

As for this, I like the idea a lot and me and six other people, like IN said, are interested, plus AMZ unless she counted him. But if you're not interested, then.. *shrugs* What can I do. You're the guy that was goin' ta make it.
